This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jae-* skill to use right now** for your JAE manuscript.
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you which jae- skill to use right now* for your JAE manuscript.
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JAE — the Elsevier journal founded in 1979 by Ross L. Watts and Jerold L. Zimmerman (the originators of Positive Accounting Theory), published bimonthly (ISSN 0165-4101). JAE exists to apply economic theory to explain accounting phenomena: the role of accounting within the firm; the information content of accounting numbers in capital markets; accounting in financial contracting and the monitoring of agency relationships; the determination of accounting standards; and the regulation of corporate disclosure and the accounting profession. The non-negotiable bar is an economics-based argument tested with large-sample archival data (or built as an analytical model) — not normative, behavioral, or practitioner-oriented work. Editors desk-reject or redirect (Article Transfer Service) papers that miss this economics-relevance bar.
Editorial team and policies change: verify the current masthead on ScienceDirect before naming editors or associate editors. The submission fee and Highlights/JEL requirements must be reconfirmed on the live Guide for Authors before upload.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea is vague; unsure it is economics-based or JAE-fit (vs JAR/TAR/RAST) | jae-topic-selection |
| Predictions are descriptive; no economic mechanism (agency/info/contracting) | jae-theory-development |
| Front end reads as gap-spotting; the economics literature not engaged | jae-literature-positioning |
| Design may not identify the effect (endogeneity, selection, reverse causality) | jae-methods |
| Have data; unsure about sample construction, FE, clustering, estimators | jae-data-analysis |
| Results exist but the "so what for accounting/economics" is thin | jae-contribution-framing |
| Tables overloaded, off Elsevier style, or not self-explanatory | jae-tables-figures |
| Prose is verbose, hedged, or buries the prediction | jae-writing-style |
| Ready to submit; need the Editorial Manager + fee preflight | jae-submission |
| Want to understand JAE double-anonymized review before/after submit | jae-review-process |
| Received an R&R; need to plan and draft the response | jae-rebuttal |
jae-topic-selection — lock an economics-based question with JAE fitjae-theory-development — specify the economic mechanism and derive predictionsjae-literature-positioning — engage the positive-accounting / economics conversationjae-methods — design for identification (shocks, IV, DiD) matched to the predictionjae-data-analysis — sample construction, fixed effects, two-way clustering, robustnessjae-contribution-framing — turn results into a contribution to accounting + economicsjae-tables-figures — finalize exhibits in Elsevier house stylejae-writing-style — full-manuscript prose polishjae-submission — Editorial Manager preflight (anonymization, Highlights, JEL, fee)jae-review-process — set expectations for double-anonymized, editor-final reviewjae-rebuttal — after an R&R, plan revisions then draft the response letter
jae-tables-figuresandjae-writing-styleare late-stage polish. Do not invoke them while the identification strategy or economic mechanism is still unsettled.
If your paper is normative, behavioral-experimental, or practitioner-facing, JAE is the wrong venue.
